Lonely Runs Both Ways

Lonely Runs Both Ways (2004) more music like this

by Alison Krauss & Union Station

Alison Krauss & Union Station continue their winning streak on the aptly titled Lonely Runs Both Ways. While they have in some part grown away from their earthy, rollicking bluegrass roots, they've been able to craft a really polished and honest-sounding brand of mid-American adult contemporary that never dips into the schlockiness of mainstream ...

The Greatest Songs of Woody Guthrie (1972) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

A two-record set released on one CD, this collection of great Woody Guthrie songs performed by some of Guthrie's apostles, as well as by Guthrie himself, serves as a nice overview of his music.

Make Way/Goin' Places

Make Way/Goin' Places (1992) more music like this

by The Kingston Trio

While a modern-day listener may find folk music somewhat simple in content and approach, these factors were exactly what made the music so appealing in the late '50s and early '60s. No more than a guitar and a voice were needed to set forth ballads of love and murder. To many youths of the time, the music contrasted sharply with the materialism of ...

by Woody Guthrie

Woody Guthrie's Asch Recordings, Vol. 1-4 is another shining example of Smithsonian/Folkways' ability to create a historically important document that is both fun and enriching. Combining four separate compilations (This Land Is Your Land: The Asch Recordings, Vol. 1, Muleskinner Blues: The Asch Recordings, Vol. 2, Hard Travelin': The Asch ...

Songs of Conscience & Concern (1999) more music like this

by Peter, Paul & Mary

Amazingly, this is only the second compilation (discounting the mail-order only Readers Digest set) in the history of Peter, Paul & Mary, and it is the perfect compliment to Ten Years Together: The Best of Peter, Paul & Mary. Drawn primarily from the trio's 1980s and 1990s material, it's a profile of the group's most serious songs from their ...

The Words That Remain

The Words That Remain (1998) more music like this

by Solas

The third album from the dynamic contemporary Celtic-folk band Solas is very consistent stylistically with their first two efforts, peppering traditional Irish folk songs, jigs, and reels with less conventional instrumentation. But if The Words That Remain sticks closely to the formula that brought immediate success to Solas and Sunny Spells and ...

Best of the Vanguard Years

Best of the Vanguard Years (2000) more music like this

by Cisco Houston

Of the singers who brought folk into the modern era around World War II, Cisco Houston seems to have less name recognition than either Woody Guthrie or Leadbelly. Not a songwriter himself, Houston did a great deal to promote the songs and legacy of Guthrie during the mid- to late-'50s, and a number of songs on this recording come from Cisco ...

South Coast (1995) more music like this

by Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Ramblin' Jack Elliot, this 1995 album (his first after more than a two-decade hiatus from the studio) goes to show, only gets better with age. The 70-something-year-old voice resonates here with the long miles and experience it once just impersonated, the distinctive guitar playing likewise aged into a rich and mesmerizing style. Elliot also ...

This Land Is Your Land: The Asch Recordings, Vol. 1 (1997) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

You'd think the last word in Woody Guthrie reissues would have appeared before this. After all, the legendary folksinger recorded most of his best work nearly 60 years before this was released, and the bulk of it has been regularly reissued in fine collections on Folkways, Rounder, and other labels. So this CD is as surprising as it is welcome. ...

by Holly Near & Ronnie Gilbert

Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert's third duo album, and their first in ten years, was a live disc on which the two singers, backed by piano accompaniment, performed separately and together a varied 19-song set that evoked their heritage in the form of selections associated with Woody Guthrie, the Weavers, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul and Mary, and Phil ...

The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack (2000) more music like this

by Ramblin' Jack Elliott

This soundtrack to the 2000 documentary film about Elliott (directed by his daughter) also serves as a pretty good career retrospective. The 20 cuts are taken from an assortment of live, studio, television, radio, and film performances from 1953 to 1998. The chief flaw of Elliott's output is that he was not an innovator. He wrote little of his own ...

Columbia River Collection (1988) more music like this

by Woody Guthrie

In May 1941, Woody Guthrie began working for the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), a job that required him to write songs to promote development (dams) on the Columbia River. He would later claim that he wrote a song per day during his month-long association with the BPA, making it one of the most productive periods of his life. Several of ...

Folk Standards (1998) more music like this

by Harry Belafonte

As a budget-line introduction to the artistry of Harry Belafonte, Folk Standards does its job -- while more definitive collections are certainly available, this brief ten-track compilation still manages to include many of the singer's biggest hits, among them "Cocoanut Woman" and the seminal "Banana Boat (Day-O)."

WoodSongs (1995) more music like this

by Michael Johnathon

The singer/guitarist writes some nifty liner notes explaining the difference between being a singer/songwriter and a folksinger, which he clearly identifies himself as. The basic difference is that the folksinger continues to recognize and include the music of the past within the body of their work, while a songwriter focuses solely on adding to ...

Lifeline (1983) more music like this

by Holly Near & Ronnie Gilbert

In 1974, Holly Near dedicated her second album to Ronnie Gilbert. Nine years later, they went on tour together and recorded this live album. The pairing was as musically felicitous as it was philosophically appropriate. The 56-year-old Gilbert and the 33-year-old Near could have been mother and daughter in more ways than one, and the selections ...

Cisco Houston Sings the Songs of Woody Guthrie (1963) more music like this

by Cisco Houston

Cisco Houston is sometimes more remembered for his association with Woody Guthrie than for his gift as a folksinger. His smooth, deep baritone was interpreted by many folk purists as "commercial," thus inauthentic, and unlike Guthrie, he preferred interpreting other writer's songs as opposed to writing his own. Released two years after Houston's ...

There's no "Section 43," "Fish" Cheer I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin-To-Die-Rag," "Masked Marauder," or "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine," so casual fans would be better off picking up one of the more ...

In 1984, Holly Near and Ronnie Gilbert released Lifeline, a collection of live recordings captured at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. The eight shows between April 28-31 would serve as a comeback for Gilbert (who had been part of the Weavers) and a chance for two politically committed women to join forces. In 2002, Near revisited ...
